Tax Exemption for Native Americans

​https://www.healthcare.gov/american-indians-alaska-natives/exemptions/

Though the application on the front says federally recognized tribes, there is an "Other" option that allows for state recognized tribes or other tribally affiliated organizations. I know of several personal friends who are state recognized and were able to use this exemption. (See page 6 on the application.)

Tribal  Leaders Directory

http://www.bia.gov/cs/groups/xois/documents/document/idc1-028053.pdf
​
The Tribal Leaders Directory provides a tribes’ name, address, phone, and fax number for each of the 566 Federally-recognized Tribes.  There may be an email or website address listed for the tribal entity if they have provided it to the BIA.  Each tribe is listed in three sections, by the BIA region that provides services to them, the state they are located in, and in alphabetical order.  The Directory also provides information on the BIA Regions and agency offices.
